BattleForge is one of the games which is constantly updated, and this is known by most people and this is why the development team works around the clock to offer you additions on a regular basis. In order to keep the tradition of bringing groundbreaking elements to BattleForge, the development team offers a new addition to the game.
Now, that DirectX 11 with Windows 7 are released and also the new AMD’s ATI HD 5870 with support for DirectX 11, BattleForge has been updated in order to be able to run using Direct X 11 on supported hardware. with this in mind, you can expect a higher level of performance for the same processing power, which in turn allows more to be done with the game graphically and this translates in higher frame rates and new ways of creating graphical effects, such as shadows and lighting. A game that both runs and looks better is what rises from all of this.
It is told that DirectX 11 will ofer new generation of GPU goodness, especially for games. DirectX 11 offers some new features, tessellation being one of them and will enable artists to make smoother and less blocky models in 3D games. DX11 also knows how to take advantage of CPUs with multiple cores.
Seeing the benefit for games, the most important addition to all of this could be the compute shader, which will finally bring in the GPGPU that has been talked about lately.
After we all been waiting for the first DirectX 11 supporting game , it has finally arrived.
There is a new patch available for the EA free-to-play fantasy card game BattleForge which enables DirectX 11 functions and it's said that is offers smoother framerates along with new graphical effects on DX11 systems with DX11 hardware.
